Enjoy lunch in Pai before setting off to Tham Lod, where you'll explore Tham Lod Village and Lod Caves.

If you wake before dawn, climb up to the “Big Knobb” summit for a stunning sunrise view over the Tham Lod valley. After breakfast and fresh coffee, you'll leave Tham Lod Village for a 2-3 hour walk to a remote Karen village, stopping in the Orchid forest for a Shan-style picnic lunch before learning more about Karen traditions as you watch local women weave using blackstrap looms.
